Excellent Condo; Poor Resort Check-in
The condo was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and had a good view of the ocean. Covered parking was convenient to the elevator and beach access was across the street from the resort. Beaches were clean and weren’t crowded (unlike those closer to the Pier), so that was a big plus. Unfortunately check-in took over an hour due to the Portofino office not locating a form sent in by the owner 5 days earlier. The owner resubmitted the form and we were able to get checked in after we contacted VRBO and they reached him. Once we were checking in, the resort tried to charge us additional fees so read your contract closely so you know what you’ve paid for before paying it again. I’m thinking the clerks didn’t know what they were doing. They also charge $100 for incidentals that is refunded when you check out. The resort also delayed another person who booked through a 3rd party so it appears to be their negligence. There should be a way to verify the office got the email instead of delaying guests like this.

Beautiful Condo - Perfect for my Family of 4!
Where do I start... if you are on the fence just go ahead an book this one already! Amazing view, clean, comfortable, firm bed in Master, wonderful soaking tub, three bathrooms. + Two beach chairs, beach wagon, highchair, blow dryers, plenty of games, grill, plenty of chairs on the balcony. Everything is as pictured. Location was very close to bay and right next to lifestyle center where the Starbucks, gym, indoor pool and restaurants and big pools are located. This Building (4) has it's own very secluded not crowded private pool and hot tub with view of the bay. It is about 4 blocks from the beach. Not too bad but would be too far for my mom to walk so thought it would be important to note. There are shuttles around the property that will come get you with a phone call. We loved this condo, Portofino is amazing. We will be back!

Beautiful condo
The condo is absolutely gorgeous, with an amazing balcony view. Perfect for drinking coffee in the morning. The owner was helpful and responsive via text/call. The check in/check out process was a bit painful. The workers in the office part, were all not on the same page and there was zero communication going on. They overcharged me for some items, and gave me a bit of trouble to get the problem figured out. They did get it situated after I had to call a few times. Again the owner and the condo was amazing and we loved that part of our stay. But just check your bank statements so you don’t have any surprise charges.

Everything in the condo was very nice and comfortable. Staying in tower 4 has easy access to the bay, that is great when the gulf is a little to rough.

We have been coming to Portofino since '06. This condo has fabulous views of the beach. It is beautifully decorated. The beach chairs were very handy since we didn't pack our own this year.
